| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @ghasley - I went looking for the source and only found these videos https://youtu.be/P_gJS_u6gWc https://youtu.be/BDVfzCvqH8E Maybe over time my memory confused the icon amp with the emt amp? I had it in my head he used an icon amp. I even ha... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 Something to consider is that John DeVore personally uses an Icon Audio amp in his setup. If the designer of the speakers uses them probably worth considering - Also I watched a Steve Huff video last night you would probably enjoy, the va... | |
| Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter? The Hegel is really good from what I've heard, but beefy and powerful and probably overkill for what you want it for. I think it's a good idea to replace the forte as it uses playfi as it's app, I've used playfi and didn't think it was very good. ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I would think the Chord TT2 would be the best match as others have suggested. I base that on how it would work with your existing gear, using a tube amp and Harbeths, it would balance them out nicely. I think if I had neutral, analytical sounding ... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? @nyev , that's tricky to answer, I've never listened to the Dave or any of the other super high level DACs, but I've seen a lot of reviews on the Holo Audio May KTE and everyone seems to like it, praise it's measurements etc. I haven't read a bad ... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? On your list where it mentions the Chord Dave and m-scaler, they seem to fall in the marmite camp of love or hate. A better fit would be their Qutest product - it's cheap and cheerful with the base elements of the more expensive products, and nobo... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? I think you are on to something about using m-scaler with other Chord products for best results. I always thought of it as primarily intended to elevate the performance of the Hugo TT, with diminishing returns in other applications. Here is anothe... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? If you haven't been there already a good place for research might be on the Head-Fi official thread. You can enquire about the in-depth technical considerations there including to Rob Watts. edia object widget | |
| Sansui 9090DB Oh I didn't realize they were that rare. I found a site with the parts manuals here https://elektrotanya.com/showresult?what=SANSUI%209090DB&kategoria=&kat2=all But you probably already have those. I found an advert here that h... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? You will find this interview informative, they discuss the m-scaler and what it actually does to the sound extensively - https://youtu.be/TknWME93SgE Includes how to tell which cables are best. | |
| Sansui 9090DB You can make a saved search on ebay to be notified when one comes along. | |

| Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options? Have you considered a Chord Qutest for your price range? It is neutral sounding. Edit to add a review link that describes the neutrality of it's sound: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/chord-electronics-qutest-dac/ | |
| Accuphase dac 60 I have had a similar experience to you and can make an informed recommendation for a potentially good DAC to try. I have a Luxman L-550axii amplifier which is quite warm, smooth and refined like your Accuphase. I also use a Bluesound NODE as sourc... |
